Into The Sky

Not far from the town, there was a mountain called Qing An. The location of this mountain was not bad and it overlooked the entire town.

Su Xiaoyue helped Xu Chen buy a coffin and hired a few people to dig a hole in the mountain. She intended to bury Xu Chen here.

After the pit was dug, Xu Chen's coffin was put down. Su Xiao Yue then told those people to leave first. She wanted to bury Xu Chen well, so she did her duty as a friend.

"Oh, Xu Chen, I've chosen such a good place for you. Although the funeral wasn't grand, it still suited you." Su Xiao Yue mumbled as she filled in the hole with the shovel.

"Don't worry. When I get stronger, when I return to the north to avenge my idol, I will also avenge you."

"Oh, I forgot. I don't know who killed you."

"Forget it, let's not worry about that anymore. You better bless me so that I can gain some fame in the Eastern Divine Region. When the time comes, I will come back to bury you."

After a while, Su Xiao Yue was almost done filling up Xu Chen's grave. Su Xiao Yue was sweating profusely. She wiped the sweat off her face.

"Alright, it's about time. Xu Chen, go rest in peace." Su Xiao Yue sighed. After packing up, she prepared to leave.

"Dong Dong …"

Just as Su Xiao Yue was about to leave, she heard a dull thud, as if someone was knocking on a wooden board.

"Who is it!" Su Xiao Yue was startled. She looked around with her almond-shaped eyes and pricked up her ears, trying to hear where the sound came from.

"Pa Pa Pa!"

Su Xiaoyue's expression changed. She could hear the sound clearly. It came from Xu Chen's grave. If it had been a knock on the door, it would have been done by now.

"No, that's not possible. I clearly checked that Xu Chen is dead." Su Xiao Yue moved her ear closer to the grave and covered her mouth in surprise.

"Holy shit, Xu Chen's corpse is being swindled!"

After confirming that the sound was coming from the grave, Su Xiao Yue couldn't help but curse. She was so scared that she threw everything away and ran off like a wisp of smoke.

However, as she ran, Su Xiao Yue turned back. She hid behind a big rock to look at Xu Chen's grave.

There were no other sounds other than the one coming from Xu Chen's grave. Su Xiaoyue felt a little scared and confused.

"It can't be that Xu Chen didn't die, right? If he didn't die, and I buried him, wouldn't I have caused his death?" Su Xiao Yue thought about it for a while before deciding to dig it up.

"It doesn't matter. I'll just play the part of a corpse. Xu Chen, you have to be sure. If there's any revenge, I'm here to help you!"

Su Xiaoyue gathered her courage and rushed to Xu Chen's grave. She picked up the shovel and started digging.

Su Xiao Yue dug very quickly. It didn't take long for the grave to be dug up. She then used a shovel to pry open the coffin.

After the coffin was opened, a person suddenly sat up. Su Xiao Yue was shocked.

"Ah, ghosts!" Su Xiaoyue jumped up and turned around to run away.

After running not too far, she stopped and turned around to look at the youth who was still sitting in the coffin. She boldly asked from afar, "Xu Chen, are you dead or not?"

"He was already dead, but now he's alive again!" Xu Chen, who was in the coffin, said with a wry smile.

Xu Chen came back to life. His face was still very pale, and his body had not fully recovered.

On the night that Xu Chen went into closed-door training, the fire poison in his body had already erupted. Just as he was about to die, in the moment of life and death, he realized something.

Life returns to death, death returns to life!

If he wanted to practice this skill, he would have to die.

If he wanted to practice this technique, he must first die and revive.

This was probably the second or third mnemonic of the cultivation method.

It corresponded to the first line, "If you want to practice this technique, you must destroy your own divine veins first."

Thus, in the moment of life and death, Xu Chen had comprehended the Fire Poison Spell Formation, instantly obtaining the divine power to break it apart.

Even though the fire poison had been eliminated, his internal organs had been severely burned by the fire poison and he had entered the fake death state.

Divine force was slowly healing his body, which was why Xu Chen's body hadn't rotted and remained the same even after ten days had passed. It was only today that he was able to come back to life!

"Thank you for burying me." Xu Chen looked at Su Xiao Yue, who was standing not far away, and expressed his gratitude.

"No need to thank me, it's what friends should do. Eh …" Su Xiaoyue was at a loss for words. The two of them seemed to have a problem with their conversation!

After that, Xu Chen came out of the coffin and asked Su Xiao Yue how she had met him. Su Xiao Yue told him how she had met him that day.

"Where is that little girl!" When Xu Chen heard that Xu Shengyan was injured, he became somewhat nervous.

"It's fine, it's just that I got a little injury. I'm taking care of it at my home, so don't be too worried." Su Xiaoyue comforted Xu Chen.

"How did she get hurt?" Xu Chen's expression turned ugly. After he had faked his death, he was completely unaware of what had happened at the dormitory.

"He was beaten by the people who went back to the Scented Wine House." When Su Xiaoyue had organized Xu Chen's funeral, she had also investigated the situation. Other than the fact that Xu Chen had died, she had no idea how he had died.

Su Xiaoyue had thoroughly investigated the rest of the matter. She then told Xu Chen the details.

"Understood. First, bring me to see how she is doing." After hearing the story, Xu Chen was in no hurry to go back to his room to find trouble.

Because Xu Chen was even more worried about Xu Shengyan's safety.

Thus, the two of them did not deal with it and hurried back to the town.

At the same time, a major event occurred within the Sky Bearing Empire. 'Xu Chen', who was within the Sky Bearing Empire, died from the fire poison, and his servant girl also died with her.

This matter was extremely confidential. Other than the higher-ups of the Sky Bearing Empire and the other three Heavenly Palaces, almost no one else knew about it.

In the tallest pavilion of the Sky-Bearing Manor, Yang Yan Jue stood by the window, gazing out with his deep eyes. He knew of this matter as well.

He was waiting, waiting for a person, waiting for a result, waiting for the result of eighteen years of planning.

At this moment, Jiang Baiqiu walked in, bowed towards Yang Yan and said, "Martial House Master, Xu Chen died from the fire poison, his body has been preserved."

"What's the situation like?" Yang Yan Jue didn't care about Xu Chen's life or death, he only cared about whether they had gotten what they wanted.

"Elder Chen and the other elders of the three Heavenly Secrets have failed in obtaining Xu Chen's memories." Jiang Bai Qiu watched Yang Yan Jue cautiously. He didn't know what the consequences would be for such an outcome.

"Xu Chen and her maid's memories could not be obtained. It must be because of Xu Chen."

After listening, Yang Yan Jue didn't speak for a long time. He just stood there, letting the cold wind outside enter his ears while his clothes fluttered in the wind.

Yang Yan would never speak, nor would Jiang Baiqiu dare to speak. He also didn't dare to make any sounds, because he could clearly feel that this Yang Yan Jue, who seemed to be motionless, was in fact raging with rage!

This was because this result was undoubtedly telling Yang Yan Jue that during these eighteen years, their Sky Bearing Empire and the four great Heavenly Palaces were doing nothing!

After a long time, Yang Yan Jue slowly spoke, "Lock these people up along with Xu Chen's corpse on the seventh floor of the Compendium Pavilion. Tell them."

"I just want the result. I don't care about the process. I've waited eighteen years for Xu Chen to die. Don't make me wait another eighteen years!"

"If they can't obtain Xu Chen's memories, they can just commit suicide!"

"Understood, Manorlord." Jiang Bai Qiu heaved a sigh of relief. Luckily, Yang Yan definitely hadn't vented his anger on him, otherwise, he would already be a corpse by now!

In the Xu family's secret room.

A young girl in her early twenties, with a pale face, appeared in the dark secret room. She was Xu Chen's personal maid, Warm Jade!

"Warm Jade, how did you get back?" The one who spoke was Xu Chen's elder brother, Xu Fusheng. He was a little angry, but he could not bear to question the warm jade in front of him.

"Elder sister sent me out." Warm Jade felt a bit sad. She had already felt that her elder sister, Lan Tian, was dead.

Because they were all from the Unmatched Body, the God Power in her body started to disappear. This was a sign that someone from the Unparalleled Body had died.

"Ah, you shouldn't have done that!" Xu Fusheng sighed.

Whether it was Xu Fusheng or Lan Tian, they both knew clearly in their hearts that the Xu family had to have someone die in the Sky Bearing Empire.

When Xu Liusheng found out about the Sky Bearing Empire's divine stone, he understood even more clearly that he was already taking a huge risk by taking Xu Chen out!

And now, Lan Tian had given him the warm jade. Without a doubt, he had increased the chance to exchange it for Xu Chen. Once his weakness was exposed, the Xu family would die without a burial ground!

Because the secret of the Sky Bearing Empire was worth the Sky Bearing Empire, or even the other three Heavenly Palaces, doing so at all costs.

"In the future, you should just stay here and focus on cultivation. Don't come out again. Hopefully, the Sky Bearing Empire won't detect you." Now that things had come to this, Xu Fusheng had nothing else to say.

If he could, Xu Fusheng wouldn't want to do such a thing. However, since this matter involved the entire family, he had no choice but to do so!

"Yes, Eldest Young Master." Warm Jade had no objections.

Although he did not know about the God's Stone, he knew about the importance of this matter.

However, what she knew was that her sister, Lan Tian, did not have to die. She did not need to go through so much trouble!

It was all because her elder sister, Lan Tian, wanted to die in her place!
